Well duh! The Global Left are losing – the why is easy

We hate each other thanks to social media.

While we hate each other more than ever before, we are more lonely than we have ever been before.

We are lonely,  more depressed and sicker.

Our loneliness, our depression, our sickness are all fomenting the spin of social media hate algorithms which only further polarise our debate into All Tribe and No Village politics.

I think we are a clever ape who has evolved over 300 000 years. Because we have to compete against other sentient and self conscious clever apes and work with them as groups so our intelligence and ability to use tools could change our environment, we have had to bond and understand each other over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.

When we meet in person, our bodies and brains and taking in millions of different details subconsciously and we are working each other out through facial cues, pheromones, gait, stance, smiles, eye contact, etc etc etc: we have taken those 300 000  years of evolution and replaced that  with flat screen interaction where we lose all that unseen evolutionary advantage and instead become brainwashed and trapped in rabbit holes of demented reality.

Flat screen interaction is warping our human capacity to tell what is true and what isn’t because we don’t have that sense of the person in front of us and all the million ways we asses each other in our evolved brain.

We have become an ocean of spite and resentment in an All Tribe No Village politics distorted by social media hate algorithms because 300 000 years of evolution can’t work in a flat screen interaction loneliness.

Neoliberal economics have gutted out the middle classes and working classes while empowering the 1% Plutocracy.

The Poor have looked to the Left for solutions to their pain and found middle class activists who only want to cancel them for misusing pronouns.

The Big Tech Tzars have manipulated our collective fear, ego, anger and insecurities through social media in a way that has led to the largest psychological civil war ever launched against one another.

We are but meat bags secreting hormones addicted to dopamine rewards for fat, sugar, salt and sex in a cultural landscape of individualism uber allas where we sing sweet secret lies to ourselves to make sense of a world around us that is frightening and in constant entropy.

Meanwhile, the planet burns and every aspect of our existence is monetarised for big data to sell us more stuff we can’t afford. We are alienated and anesthetized by a consumer culture that keeps us neurotic and disconnected. Our work, our existence, every move we make are all built to suck money to a minority class that sits above us while under neoliberalism, globalization, financialization, and automation, our existence as individuals has only become more disposable.

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

  1. The why is indeed easy. Our unelected billionaire class rulers have successfully manipulated us into to focusing on each other rather than on them. We have always been manipulated, always been divided, but not to the levels we are now at, we are at war with each other while the billionaire class is at war with the world. For those of us who wake up to this reality, you are soon demonized/labelled as enemies of the people, and now you are at war with your fellow people as well as the billionaire class. Must admit, they have got us in a bind!

  2. The left are losing because the right have got rid of the workers, all the cloth caps have been burnt by neoliberalism gone are the factories,the freezing works, the car plants the dock workers etc.etc.. The workers that are left think of themselves as elite and wouldn’t vote left and wouldn’t join a union if you paid them too. The workers of today think voting for parties like ACT make them so much better off. Unfortunately these workers don’t realize that the right wing parties actually hate the workers so much so that they get rid of their rights and don’t want to pay them a decent wage, they would go back to the slave trade if they could.

  3. 100% agree, Bomber.

    We are indeed “disposable”; witness how easily workers are thrown onto the growing mountain of unemployed.

    The game is rigged, no one is going to fix it, and I am enraged.

  4. The global left is not just what happens in Western countries
    As Lenin predicted it is what id happening in the global south, the former colonies or semi colonies. The true global left is the rise of a multi polar world led by China, a former exploited country. What happens in Western Europe is hardly ‘globsl’

  5. Really good article that I have got to agree with
    You just forgot the absolute contempt the elites have for the working class which they are stupid enough to express
